By moderate I mean the 700 - 1500 dollar range.

But even 2000 - 5000 safes appear to be easily defeated with 20 minutes of cutting saw on the side panels.

After researching safes, I realized that you really need to spend 5000 - 8000 dollars on a high quality safe and have it bolted to the floor and walls in a tight-fitting cinderblock rebar reinforced cubby hole. And even then its just a matter of time.
